About the Coalition
Founded by Susan Zuker and her two sons in 2004, we are a Massachusetts-based organization dedicated to providing an ongoing source of funding for local, nonprofit cancer organizations working in various capacities to conquer all forms of cancer. These efforts include:
- Providing education and support for those affected by cancer
- Promoting compassionate care among health professionals
- Researching and raising awareness of cancer prevention
- Advocating on behalf of cancer patients and survivors
Our primary source of revenue is the continued sales of the special Conquer Cancer license plate, available through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles.
